RE: ISD Try, try again

["Hauglie, Joe" <jhauglie -at- ti -dot- com>]

Michele Davis asked for information about ISD (twice).

>Somehow ISD relates to Instructional Design. Somehow, somehow, but how?

I know ISD has implications in how we now create software (as only a 
small component of ISD) by a practiced standard (a GUI interface follows

certain protocols, whether it's Open Source or Windows-based; a dialog 
box looks a certain way, etc.)

Michele: what you are looking for is best addressed by getting in touch
with several leaders in the ISD field. You will most likely find some of
these by hitting a couple of top-level university web sites, looking in
the College of Education pages, and searching for faculty links in the
area of Instructional Technology or Educational Psychology. Two examples
(hey, I'm biased, I went to U-Texas) are:

http://www.edb.utexas.edu/coe/depts/ci/it/FACULTY.html

http://edpsych.edb.utexas.edu/admissions/degrees.htm

Look around the faculty pages and read their CVs, publications, etc. You
will probably find some very interesting data that is both historical
and contemporary.

And I would agree that your client may have misunderstood what the ISD
acronym actually means.
